I wonder if a suit against Roseanne by some of those injured by her actions, eg the other cast members, would have a chance of success? The angle being that what she did was reckless, malicious, it comes from a pattern of similar reckless behavior, the result was predictable, no surprise and it caused them great financial damage. You;d think some lawyer would be ready to bring it.
OT: Sue Roseanne?

Children go crying to their teacher or their mother if someone hits them. Adults should just fight back and grow up.

o harm YOU? Has Roseanne cost YOU any money? Did Roseanne eat your pet? Did Roseanne break into your home and empty your refrigerator? Do you know Ros eanne personally or does she even know your name? Do you know anyone who is associated with Roseanne? Do you support "Freedom of speech" for EVERYONE, not just Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Moonbat Freaks? Do you think Political Correctness should be codified and made into a law? Should Roseanne be arr ested because you and the other Liberal Leftist Weasels were offended by an ything she has said? Should Roseanne be executed for what she has said? o_O

And of course one way you fight back is by suing those that have harmed you and caused you damages with reckless behavior. Thanks for making my point.
Snowflake are easily offended. It hurts their feelings.
That might be an interesting piece of juris prudence but I doubt it goes anywhere. Roseanne would just blame ABC for over reacting ... as they did.
If she did not breach her contract she could sue ABC. Also cutting off reruns deprives not only her but rest of cast from residuals and they could have a cause to sue ABC as they had nothing to do with her current behavior.
Most contracts state they can fire you for bad behavior type stuff so she would have nothing but opinion to stand on. Happens often wit celebrities that do product endorsement and get caught doing something bad.
Any network can cancel any show, at any time, for any reason. The Barr show is made by a non-ABC affiliated production company, Carsey-Werner.
If there is any liability, it belongs to Barr herself. She admitted blame for the incident in a separate tweet.
There is nothing stopping Carsey-Werner from shopping the show to another network. At the moment, Barr is radioactive, as she should be.
It's not happening in the NFL : ) or the democratic party
Besides the other problems, that would be a problem for other cast members. They could have known that she's posted things like this before, well, at least** once.
**In common vague parlance, people of all sorts will say, "He's done this on prior occasionS" even when they only cite and often only know of one prior occasion.A male friend of hers who I think saw a lot of her, say, 20 years ago said that she's not the person he knew, that she never said anything racist in those days, including in private.
There used to be a surplus of lawyers looking for things to do. There may still be but I haven't heard about it for decades. Of course there are always inferior lawyers who can't find steady work
Stormy Daniels found one with no problems. So too does every floozie that shows up with "he molested me 25 years ago". Michael Avenatti and Gloria Alred ring a bell?
It was probably malicious but the malice wasn't directed against the other cast members. So any malice does not help their hypothetical case.
What duty does she have to look out for the cast's financial situation?
I think they have stronger cases.
There's no doubt that molestation is a valid and serious cause of action, and the only problem is the 25 years.
The Daniels case is complicated. I read and forget the details, but it has more to hang its hat on than, She did something bad and it indirectly caused me to get fired. What legal duty that she violated did Roseanne have to the rest of the cast? None.
They're all working for Muelller at the moment...

Roseanne Barr should have been put out of her and everyone else's misery long before she hit the stand-up circuit.
Trailer trash will always be trailer trash regardlss of how much money she makes.

Her potty mouth goes way beyond racist comments.
I found her wiki bio very interesting. Really strange life and up-bringing. I liked her early act but candidly had no interest in her other stuff and never watch situation comedies any way. But, this situation is also strange as her bizarre antics brought in more viewers. I suspect she lost her job because the same crowd that goes after the
2nd amendment wants to curtail the 1st to their needs. They probably used fake computer generated email and posts to convince the network it would be bad for her if they did not get rid of her.
We like to look at train wrecks. More interest in celebrity bad publicity than good. There are two shows that come on after the news, Extra is one, that pretty much exist on garbage gossip.
Losing sponsors is more of a problem.
Not sure what they lost in sponsorship but this is another tactic to deluge them with negative comments, also mostly fake, and make them drop the show.
Ah yes, another grand conspiracy theory, completely devoid of fact. Roseanne screwed the pooch, she got what more like her should get. Good riddance, though I suspect like so many others she will re-emerge somewhere. The only one I can think of that got deep-sixed permanently is Paula Deen.
Please provide us your evidence of this fake comment campaign. It's curious that you make this unsupported allegation while being in complete denial about the real fake operations that were run by the Russians to influence the election and the continuing fake news that comes out of the Trump WH almost daily.
Why would anyone want to look at an obese woman?
